I really don't think it matters what she tasted like. She's dead, leave her be

The bootloader is open so you could throw Fairphone's Android on there no problem. I think they provide the files for that (didn't check so don't know for sure)

Of course, they're not a member anymore

But they not only have updates, they also have form filling, a password manager (wink wink), sync between devices and so many more basic features that Firefox has too

Counter point: No it fucking isn't. Humanity is genuinely shitting the bed on multiple important issues. OP's worries are valid. If you think that the current situation is okay, then you're part of the problem. If it's not fascism, we still have climate change fucking us six ways to Sunday

Do you also keep your car running all day for when you have to be somewhere and only turn off the engine at the gas station?

They do but the first element is still "me", it just has the index 0.

Fahrenheit has one advantage here: You're used to it. If you're used to Celsius, you know that 25° is warm and 5° is cold and don't give a shit about it not being a 0-100 scale for that particular use case.

The 0-100 thing is pretty much the only argument I've ever heard in favor of Fahrenheit btw. Again, if you're used to one of them, that's the one that will make the most sense.

Being used to Celsius has the advantage of automatically being used to Kelvin. For example, if you ever want to calculate anything to do with the energy required to heat something to a certain temperature, you will have a way better time with Kelvin. Being used to and measuring in Celsius helps a lot here.

But sure, I get that you're used to Fahrenheit. It's just that the whole world has decided to use Celsius. Honestly, for good reason.
